Logan runs around in a matrix.

Rating: 7/10 (11 April 2007)

Nothing original here, but the action is good (sometimes over the top). Someone wanted to remake Logan's run, tossing in some political discussion of clones and add a dash for the matrix and you have "The Island". The movie is not all bad. Ewan carries the action hero OK. You'll have to turn off your disbelief radar for 2 hours, while the plot (can't happen), action (no one would survive any of it) and romance (inevitable) takes place. Looking past a couple groaner moments, and a few characters looking at each other like things needed to go unsaid (lame), it wasn't all that bad. I really went with it let all that slide and going for a rating of 8, except one scene that the characters could not have survived, but not only did they did without a scratch. I dropped it to a 7 just for that scene. OK DVD rental. Glad I didn't pay for it (HBO free weekend TiVo :).
